The contents of a needle exchange kit.
I found it interesting they include multiple needles of different bore sizes. The viscocity of drugs can be radically different, i.e. methadone is more viscous than heroin which is more viscous than cocaine. Pushing methadone through a small needle is impossible.

Are you talking about injectable or oral methadone? Because I don't think any drug agency would promote injecting oral meth!
Also, there is no vit-C or citric acid packet included here, which - in the UK at least - is vital for breaking down heroin or crack cocaine to inject.

Oh yeah, they give the different needle bores to try to promote less risk of vein collapse or for people who are using thread veins, not because of difference of 'viscocity of drugs'! lol
